A recap of the WPF/SL Q2 webinar. All resources from the webinar are included in this blog post.

One of the challenges when developing an application is to give visual indication while a long running process is occurring. In Silverlight this can be easily achieved using the RadBusyIndicator control. However, the UI thread sometimes gets frozen.

I am glad to present the early bits of what is coming with our Q2 2013 official release. As always, we'll appreciate your feedback.

Find out about one of the cool new features that will be offered by Q2 2013 of Telerik OpenAccess ORM - automatic generation of Data Annotation attributes.

This is part 2 of the series on RadTileList, a new control which allows you to create a modern UI similar to the Windows 8 start screen.

Last week we shipped our Q1 2013 SP1 official release for RadControls for WPF and RadControls for Silverlight. As always we put our efforts in adding a lot of new features and remove the small glitches across all controls . I will list here the most exciting ones and you can check all details in our thorough release notes here for WPF and here for Silverlight:

Q1 is already behind our back and we took the time right after it to sit down and carefully think about our next steps. We were trying to answer questions like where we want to be in Q2, what the main customer scenarios are, how we can help our customers achieve those scenarios, how we can use our resources in the most efficient way, who we’re targeting, etc. As a result we outlined a comprehensive plan including tons of significant improvements and new features as well as major new initiatives that will take Telerik DevCraft to another level in Q2 2013.
